a public service announcement from Jeff and Mardy Chen to our Cedar Park hot yoga community

Alex from Secret River Sounds and Alexa from Breathing Back to You were incredible!

Rabbit is my most consistent position and the one where my form most matches ‘ideal’. It is the one where I could be bored and still pull it off. But I am not bored. Each time it is not the same. Sweat drips differently, muscles pull differently, tension hangs in a different sinew or fiber. The shoulders move up a little or the breath catches ever so slightly held.

When I started practicing Hot Yoga at the age of 23 in an inpatient rehab facility, I had no idea the lessons that Yoga, sobriety, and getting older would teach me in tandem.
